ESPN writer Howard Bryant charged in domestic case

(NECN) - ESPN senior writer Howard Bryant is free tonight after being arrested over the weekend for domestic assault and battery, in a case his attorney says could have been race-related.

Massachusetts State police spokesman David Procopio says Bryant was arrested Saturday night after witnesses reported he had grabbed a woman by the throat and was pinning her against a vehicle in the town of Buckland.

Procopio says Bryant was charged with assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest after refusing to put his hands behind his back and trying to pull away from a state trooper who responded to the call.
